Magnesium oxychloride cement (MOC) has the advantage of high early strength. However, it has the defect of poor water resistance. Considering this performance, we use γ-polyglutamic acid (γ-PGA) and chitosan (CS) to modify MOC. The effects of γ-PGA and CS such as strength, in vitro degradation and in vitro bioactivity of MOC were studied. Based on the preparation of γ-PGA and CS modified MOC (γ-PGA/CS-MOC) composite bone cement, the strontium ranelate (SrR) was loaded on. The results showed that the softening coefficient of γ-PGA/3 wt.% CS-MOC after soaking in SBF for 28 d reached 0.48, while that of control group (without CS and γ-PGA) was only 0.35; Cell experiments indicated that SrR could promote differentiation into osteoblasts. After the γ-PGA/CS-MOC composite bone cement containing SrR was implanted into the osteoporotic bone defect for 12 w, it was found that the material was gradually absorbed and the new bone tissue grew. The results showed that SrR/γ-PGA/CS-MOC composite bone cement had a potential application prospect in the repair of osteoporotic bone defects.

The development of functional materials for osteoporosis is essential for effective bone remodeling. In this context, the extraction of biocompatible implantable biomaterials from bio-waste emerges as a valuable strategy, addressing both environmental challenges and promoting human health. The objective of this work was to evaluate the physicochemical properties of the added-value by-product biomaterial (SS-90), extracted from sardine scales (Sardina Pilchardus) and combined with chitosan (SS-90-CH).

: Postmenopausal conditions can lead to metabolic disorders such as obesity and steatosis. (PT), a prominent traditional Chinese medicine, exerts potential therapeutic effects against hepatic injury. Nevertheless, the extent to which PT ameliorates liver damage resulting from estrogen deficiency, along with the associated mechanisms, remains poorly understood.

Unlabelled: The National Osteoporosis Guideline Group (NOGG) has updated the revised UK guideline for the assessment and management of osteoporosis and the prevention of fragility fractures in postmenopausal women, and men age 50 years and older. This guideline is relevant for all healthcare professionals involved in osteoporosis management.
Introduction: The UK National Osteoporosis Guideline Group (NOGG) first produced a guideline on the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis in 2008, with updates in 2013, 2017 and 2021.

Unlabelled: This retrospective cohort study analysed a total of 344 patients from the OSTEOMED registry with matched baseline and follow-up DXA data, finding that comorbidities such as nephrolithiasis, hypertension or coronary heart disease may influence the response to prescribed anti-osteoporotic treatment.
Purpose: To determine: 1) comorbidities associated with reduced bone mineral density (BMD), T-score and Z-score at the lumbar spine (L1 to L4 vertebrae), femoral neck and total hip; and 2) the role of multimorbidity (≥ 2 comorbidities) in reduced BMD, T-score and Z-score at the lumbar spine, femoral neck and total hip.
Methods: Retrospective cohort study analyzing patients [319 females (92.

Unlabelled: People with a hip fracture are prone to break the bone around the metal repair, causing severe health issues. This study found that initiating anti-osteoporotic medication soon after the first fracture halves that risk, highlighting the benefit of early osteoporosis treatment.
Background: Hip fractures pose significant clinical challenges, often leading to prolonged hospitalization, reduced quality of life, and increased risk of subsequent fractures.
